This is a Baby Post!!


Temanku pernah protes, katanya kalau buat tulisan ga pake Bahasa Inggris "so not you". Hehe.. Tapi biar deh sekali-sekali boleh lah ya. Akhir-akhir ini perasaan sedang campur aduk. Stress, banyak pikiran, was-was, menyebabkan malas makan, malas kerja, malas belajar, malas merawat diri, malas olah raga, malas baca. Tapi disaat yang bersamaan merasa bahagia, nyaman, lebih sabar, dan belajar melihat kehidupan dari sisi yang berbeda. Kalau kata Nasywa "Aneh looh, Tante ini!".


Pengen banget bisa cerita semuanya dengan blak-blakan, karena kalau tahu alasan dibalik keanehan ini pasti kalian gak akan merasa ini aneh, wajar malah. Wajar sekali. Duh, bikin bingung ya? Intinya, cerita yang sedang Eci alami ini sebelumnya tidak pernah terbayangkan akan terjadi pada Eci. Jangankan membayangkan terjadi pada Eci, membayangkan terjadi pada orang-orang yang Eci kenal pun tidak. Ceritanya dramatis seperti di film, kisahnya dilematis seperti di lirik lagu. Bahkan mengancam kelangsungan hidup. Literally, um, or not. Well, mari bicarakan hal yang lain.

Hari ini akhirnya bisa libur, setelah nonton El Clasico (ehm) lanjut nyuci dan langsung siap-siap untuk lihat bayi nya Fina. Dijempur Riska, Gilang, dan 'Abi' nya Riska, kami berangkat ke Ambarawa, Pringsewu sekitar jam 10.30 WIB. Sudah hampir 6 bulan gak ketemu Fina, lihat dia dengan perut besarnya saja belum pernah. Huh sahabat macam apa saya ini.

Sedikit cerita tentang Fina: Fina Februaningrum, one of Eci's best friend. And i mean BEST. Orangnya cerdas, tapi sederhana. Asalnya dari desa, tapi pemikirannya sudah sangat maju dan tetap diiringi dengan segala batasan-batasan budayanya (maklum orang Jawa tulen). Apa pun yang Eci ceritakan, Fina pasti paham. Gak perlu berulang kali menjelaskan, malah terkadang cukup dengan tatapan mata saja sudah muncul saling pengertian diantara kami berdua. Dipertemukan di bangku kuliah, sudah 5 tahun kami menjadi teman baik. Seperti semua persahabatan diantara wanita, ada juga saat-saat sensitif, berantem, iri-irian, saling mendiamkan, baikan lagi. Tapi segalanya jadi lebih mudah karena Fina gak egois, selalu tahu kapan harus minta maaf dan kapan harus memaafkan.

Kalau dipikir-pikir lagi malah seringnya Eci yang nge-bully Fina :P. Eci kan dulu moody, perfeksionis, gak mau kalah jadi banyaknya Fina yang ngalah. Maafin Eci ya Fie. hehe.. Tapi Fina orangnya suka ragu, nah disitulah Eci berperan untuk Fina. Eci sering kasih saran-saran kalau Fina lagi butuh pertimbangan logis. Fina memutuskan untuk menikah di usia 23 tahun. Tepat 3 bulan setelah hari wisuda kami. Suaminya, Mas Satrio, harusnya banyak-banyak berterima kasih sama Eci (:P) karena dulu Eci yang encourage Fina untuk tinggalin mantannya yang madesu itu dan meyakinkan dia untuk membuka diri sama Mas Iyo (begitu panggilannyah). Hahaha.. Ya intinya mereka memang jodoh deh.


Nah, kemarin tanggal 10 Desember 2011, jam 20.00 WIB, saat gerhana bulan (penting ya disebut?), telah lahir putra pertama mereka. Tadi kami ke sana untuk jenguk ibu dan bayinya. Alhamdulillah keduanya sehat wal afiat. Aku terharu banget waktu gendong bayinya. What an amazing creature human is! Sahabatku Fina sudah diberi kepercayaan untuk membesarkan seorang putra. We really are growing old. Dari sama-sama MaBa innocent, kuliah, berorganisasi, lulus bareng, kerja, sampai akhirnya Fina menikah dan punya anak. Congratulation, my beloved Fina. Eci akan selalu mendoakan Fina dan insyaallah akan ada untuk Fina maupun keponakanku saat dibutuhkan. Walaupun Fina memilih untuk menjadi full time wife and mother (which is a very noble choice), Eci harap Fina gak berhenti bermimpi dan berusaha menggapai mimpi-mimpi Fina. Dan yang paling penting jangan pernah berhenti belajar. I love you, Sister.

The December 4th Post

My father threw a joke this morning. I was getting ready for work in this bright sunny sunday morning (yup, i'm working at Sunday, again). I was so late and all i did was walking back and forth from my room to my sister's then kitchen to living room etc. He then told me, "Where are you going? Thought you're getting married today, no?". I chuckled and answered, "Meet me at the reception hall today, Pa".

Don't worry, i'm fine. More than everyone could dare to expect. But most importantly, i'm fine because Papa is alright. I worried about him more than i did about Mama or my sisters.

Anyway, have a great Sunday, peeps! December 4th, 2011 only happens once. :)

DECEMBER


There were hopes and dreams. There were also moments when i didn't want it to come. There were anxiety towards it. And finally it hugging me, now. I can't resist. It's inevitable. What more i can say? Because the truth is i'm waiting for it. I'm curious of what will it bring to me.

Welcome, December.

What Life Taught Me


We should accept people the way they are, their present, and what they are aspire for their future. That includes accepting and forgiving their past and believe that there were always reasons in every mistakes and bad behavior at their past.
People need chance to prove that they are willing to move forward and being a better person. All we have to do is sacrifice a little. Just a little, which is to have the ability to appreciate their big effort and accept them with open hands and big heart.

Look who's gaining weight!

Sitting in living room with Mom. Daddy and Venny are watching a football match yelling and commenting like an expert. Why am i not watching? It's just Indonesia vs Malaysia, i'm not a big fan of both football teams, so.. :D (haha, guess if i mean it?)

Well, thanks God for my dad's addiction to facebook that i could post this from my house (again) now. Oh, and this is my first post using Coral! Coral is my new red notebook from Dell. She is so gorgeous and i love her already. This is my first computer that i have for my own. Before, it was always ours, a shared ownership between me and my sisters. Hehe.. But I'm grateful, if i've never learn how to share i wouldn't appreciate having something for my own. :)


(even Adis and fachrie are impressed :p)

Had a fun karaoke time with Mbak Ayu, Mbak Sri Rahayu and Mbak indah yesterday. Thank you girls, that "Waka-waka moment" was priceless :*.

1. Playing my old playlists.
2. Sondre Lerche.
3. Waiting.
4. Manggoes.
5. Sate.
6. Roller coaster of mood.

7. Oh and i eat ridiculous amount of sweets.

It's raining and i'm sleepy.
Good night.

Now? Why?? How Come?


That was exact reaction from some people when i told them that i'm going to continue my study outta town. Yup, officially i've asked my office to let me go there. But i still haven't got any clear contract, explanation, or agreement with the institution. Some people might think that my idea is kinda odd, rush, or else, but i really don't understand why? I have reasons and i will explain why it should be done as soon as possible.


first. I'm in a comfort zone. And it's dangerous. As i've shared in my previous post about this, i feel good with my life now. But we must be careful if something works too well, means there's something bad about to come in. Or at least it would be some kind of lullaby that will makes us forget the world is bigger than what we have seen with our eyes now. I'm aware about this, so i have to do action, now!

second. I TEACH PEOPLE. I'm in a classroom 4 times a week trying to transfer a little knowledge i have to 20-40 students each classes. The more week passed by the more i realize that i know nothing. I am capable but i am also limited. Actually, I read books, i study like elementary student going to face final exam before i teach the next morning, i browse about things i don't know more than i've done before. But it's not enough. It won't be sufficient. I have to go back to classroom and let people with wider range of knowledge teach me directly. Period.

third. My daily routin at office consist of managing, handling, organizing postgraduate courses. Marketing, administration, financial, general affairs, academic stuff. In short, facilitate them to get a further education. Everyday i'm dealing with students, in weekend i meet senior lecturers giving knowledge to students and wonder: What makes me different from these students? Why didn't i in a classroom with them? Some of them has the same age range with me. And i shouldn't been here sitting in my square. "If today were the last day of my life, would i want to be the one who supervise final exam or the one who is doing the final exam?" Not both, but you get my poin, right? :P

fourth. This is a perfect momentum to change my life plan. I've cancelled my wedding. And it's not only about "no party on December 4th", it's deeper than that. Several plan needs to be reviewed. I need to remapped my choices and dreams in order to have a clear future design.

Well, i'm not going to listen to people who demotivates me. There will always that person/people whose happiness is depend on other's disappointment and failure. I'll stick with those who believe in my sincere intention to develop my self and without a doubt giving me motivation and moral support.

If it meant to be, it will be. We'll see in a month what would happened.

All together, finger crossed.

:)
